The Lock Haven Democrat says that town is finally awakening out of the Rip Van Winkle sleep and la going to make an effort to got along. Among the things mentioned as mainly ro ponslble for the somnolent conditions of the town was tho lethargy of the buslnos men and the high tax levy. Two very vital mutters In the progress of any town. During l'JOtl there were reported to the State Department of Health 24,421 cases of typhoid fever In Pennsylvania and out of that number 3000 died from the disease. Sixty-six persons in this state are stricken with typhoid fever every day In the year, according to above report, and eight or nine persons die every day with the disease. Is It not time that people become alarmed about the ravishings of this disease In Penn sylania? At the call of County Chairman Joseph B. Henderson a committee met In Brookville on .'2th Inst, to draft new rules for government of the Republican party in Jefferson county, which will be accepted or rejected at a meeting of committeemen next month, and tbe first one of the new rules is as follows : "Two primary elections shall be held each year, In every election district in the county of Jefferson, at which nom inations by the Republican party shall be made and delegates to Republican state and national conventions and Re publican party committeemen elected, in conformity with the laws of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania in such case made and provided, and uutll otherwise provided by law, one of said primaries shall be held on the fourth Saturday before the February election, to be known as the winter primary ; the other shall be held on the Srst Sat urday of June, except In years when a President of the United states is to be elected, in which it shall be held on tbe second Saturday In April, to be known as the spring primary, at which prli maries, until otherwise provided by law, the polls shall be open between tbe hours of two o'clock, p. m. and eight o'clock p. m." There is considerable grief in this (Treat busy world of toil and tumult, but the rushing, struggling, striving public has no Interest In the grief of an Indi vidual. It is too fully occupied with Its own advancement to spend a thought or a care on what does not concern or affect its wolfare. Trouble comeB to us all In one form or another, and if you investigate the matter you will find that trouble is universal. Every heart hag its own burden. It may be in tbe hidden depths unseen by human eyes, but it is there nevertheless. Some people Lave the courage to overcome and submit bravely to the Inevitable, while others yield to the influence of trouble and give vent to vain regretB and useless repining. Whatever your trial and disappointments, keep them to yourself ; tbe public don't care to hear about them. Keep a bright face, a cheerful word and a hopeful heart. Extend to the world a cordial hand and remember that life Is for the most part what we make it. Ella Wheeler Wil cox expressed this fact In the following verses: Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow Its mirth But has trouble enough of 1U own. Sing and the hills will answer; Sigh and It Is lout In the air; The echoes bound to a Joyful sound, . But shrink from voicing care. A great hinderance to the advance ment of Christianity In the world is tbe inconsistency of church members, and Reynoldsville is no exception In this respect to the world in general. There are various ways of inconsistency, but we will only mention one, and that is not paying honest debts. The man Or woman who will buy goods or other things on credit and not pay for same, even though they have to make sacrifices to do so, are not honest, and a dishonest person cannot be a consistent christian. There may be cases when sickness or some other misfortune over takes a person ana they cannot meet their obligations, and the debt remains unpaid, not because tbe person wilfully refuses to pay the same, but because they are unable. In such a case a per son cannot be called dishonest. But when people ask a merchant to accom modate tbem by trusting tbem for (roods and then make no effort to pay the debt, but get mad when the mer chant insists on getting what is justly due him, and go to some other store to deal, that is not honest. There are church members who wear fine apparel who' do not pay tbeir honest debts, and apparently, are indifferent about the matter. It is no wonder that christian men in business have their faith shaken, and that non-professing christian bus iness men are sceptical about Chris tianity, when they trust some church members. It trys the faith of tbe best of christian business men. Better a crust of bread and patched clothing with a reputation for honesty,, than to wear fine clothing and have the luxuries of life with a reputation of being dinhonuntbecause you buy1, and FEBRUARY ELECTION BOND ISSUE CARRIED IN THE BY LARGE MAJORITY Vote Pulled in Two Boroughs and Wins low Township, anil Candidates Elect ' ed, is Oiven Below An Asterisk () Before Nmes of Those Elected.

Editor The Star: It waB with much Interest I read an onnminr. nf t he old DeoDle now living In Reynoldsville, which appeared In THE STAR some time ago. Thinking it might be of intereet to many readers, I would like to speak of an aged lady now visiting In our midst. I refer to Mrs. Phoebe Poster, a half-sister of l. M. Rea and a sister of Mrs. Mariam Fye, who lives near Soldier. Mrs. Pot ter's father. Joshua Rea, moved to the farm now owned and occupied by C. H. Rea and family in 1831, when Phoebe was three months old. Here she lived in a little log house In the hemlock forests, where deer and bear were plen tiful, until she was 1(1 years old. About that lm Aunt. Phoebe tauffht a term of school In Reynoldsville, when there were only three houses there, tnose oi Tom Reynolds, Jacob Shaffer and Clark Lyons. On either side were tbe homes of John Fuller and Wood Reynolds. Mrs. Potter did not again revisit tne old home for forty years. It was my pleasure to entertain this dear oia iaay during tbe past week, on this, bur third visit. Aunt Phoebe has spun tbe yarn and knit over HO. 00 worth of mittens, gloves, etc., this fall and winter. She never had but one picture taken, but intends having her picture taken before leaving Reynoldsville for her home In Forest county. Mrs. C. H. Rea.
